(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If I'm given the mass in grams of the solute and the solute is being dissolved into 100mL of water at a certain temperature, how would I calculate the solubility?

The question for my homework is below:
    Determine which is more soluble in water: 17 g of solute X dissolved in  100 mL of water at 23°C or 26 g of solute Z dissolved in 100 mL of water at 23°C.

LOL. Unfortunately I don't pay any attention to chemistry mainly because I'm convinced its pointless. However, I still need to get good grades. That part of my username won't go away.

What unit do you want your answer to be in?

I don't need a unit, I just need to know how to do it, or rather, which of the two substances in the spoiler would be more soluble.

First substances solubility: .739

Second substances solubility: 1.13

Te second substance is more soluble.
